TCI's "At Home" Basic Tree Climbing Course

TCI's “At Home” Basic Tree Climbing Course (AHBTCC) makes tree climbing instruction convenient and available to anyone with access to a good climbing tree and a computer.

Though we believe that hands-on training is best, this course makes it possible for people whose budget or calendar is limited to learn in your own tree and at your own pace – without sacrificing safety or the quality of instruction. It has all the elements of our on-site Basic Tree Climbing Course -- except an instructor by your side. Like our on-site course, this is a practical course which emphasizes climbing safety in all aspects of the activity. The course is written for recreational climbers, but it's also useful to landscapers, who may want to be able to get into the treetops for minor pruning tasks, roofers, hunters, and others.

Take this course at your own pace. You can watch the DVD first, or read through the online manual before you tackle the practical skills. Either way, by reviewing both parts of the program carefully and practicing often, you will become a good, safe climber with unlimited opportunities for treetop adventure.

The online BTCC Manual is available on its own for $49.95. The entire course package price is $89.95, which includes the DVD (shipped for free) plus membership in TCIwith all its benefits.

GEAR: TCI has designed two tree climbing gear kits for beginning climbers. We wanted to make it easy for you to purchase gear. After all, there's so much out there to choose from! If you are going to climb for fun, we suggest our TCI CLIMBING KIT FOR RECREATIONAL CLIMBERS, which also lists items for folks who want a kit for advanced climbing. If you are just starting out in tree work, we suggest our TCI CLIMBING KIT FOR ENTRY-LEVEL TREE WORKERS. Both kits are sold by TreeStuff.com, and WesSpur.com.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!-- John Muir
